I'm no expert in 1940s Korean history, but I think it was more like Game of Thrones (everyone fighting everyone else while fervently believing they're on the right side), than typical Hollywood (righteous people fighting against a powerful supervillain). Even Kim Gu himself, giant as he was, is widely believed to be connected to various assassinations (and attempted assassinations) of his political enemies. * Also I don't think it was ever proven who ordered Kim's assassination - I think most people assume it's President Rhee. (It's no secret that Rhee was very fond of the person who killed Kim.)
